Intel Core i5-10400 Gets Benchmarked and tested, much faster SMT over Core i5 9400
Processors like these could be good gaming CPUs, and yes once again in Asia on the ChipHell forums a leak occurred. This round the Core i5-10400 processor (6c/12t) listed for USD $184indicates it could be a sweet spot mid-range product.
Its predecessors are the Core i5-9400F and the i5-8400. Core i5-10400 comes with 6-cores/12-threads and has 12 MB of shared L3 cache with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a turbo to 4.30 GHz.
Tested on an MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk the results have been compared with an i5-9400F with Cinebench R15 and R20, CPU-Z and SuperPi. The processor posts is merely 2-5% faster in a single-threaded test. With multi-threaded tests, the i5-10400 starts to shine thanks to HyperThreading and is yielding a ~40% performance increase in CPU-Z bench multi-threaded; with similar results in Cinebench R20. The results show that the processor is in close reach of the Ryzen 5 3600X in multi-threaded Cinebench tests.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn : I think that "
Take multithreaded score, divide it by single threaded score. And that divided by number of real cores will give you "bonus" of SMT. (In optimal situation ST and MT clock would be same.)
For CB R15, it is some 19.4%.
For CB R20, it is some 21,2%.
CPUz: 24.76% and 21.3% depending on test.
What we are looking at is gimped performance of 9400f, that is being removed with 10400 as its multi core performance is following multiple of single threaded:
CB R15: 5.37x
CB R20: 5.48x
CPUz: 5.62x and 5.66x
As has been written before, 10x00 CPUs have boosting power limits higher and can boost for longer time as result.
So, question is: "What will be scores in consecutive 10 runs of same benchmarks?"

The problem with windows patching is that you get it anyway, if is not microcode specific. So if a dll is hitting a code path that will trigger some vulnerabilities in the cpu, if they patch the DLL, you get it, with AMD or Intel. And if that is a slower codepath, is slower for everyone.
No one is upgrading from series 6000 intel to those series 10000, but for who is getting a new pc, like thousand of every people every time, this is a better attractive compared to the 9400, that will be just hard to find, and not discounted.
You do not have to close your eyes on every small improvements because is not enough, otherwise you miss the big picture.
I believe a 3600x is better and will continute to be, but that those CPUs are not improvement price and performance wise, that is not true.
I don't see a 14nm CPU with oodles of vulnerabilities that will need bios and Win10 microcode patching to be particularly attractive...

Looks like a real competitor to 3600 and x variant! Now i wonder will amd respond with a small price drop ? Or amd will take the stance that they are the premium brand and stay firm ?

I have to say this, good job AMD. If it wasn't for AMD we'd never of gotten these type of bang for buck budget gaming chips from Intel.
Honestly these would be $300+ if the competition didn't get it's act together. So hats off to both Intel and AMD for bringing low cost decent gaming chips to the table.
We'll have to wait to see what Zen 4000 brings to the table but this chip might become very popular at the right price.
